Members Mac_C Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 A '59 or a Seth Lover would be in that vintage/PAF range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Good question. I mean the Seth Lover, the Pearly Gates and and JB and Jazz are all flavored to be like PAF's which the '57 basically is supposed to be so which one is it?

Members vintage clubber Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Alnico Pro IIFor the price point, check out http://www.bg-pups.com or send a pm to Norcal_GIT_r . Bryan's Lizard model is also pretty close to those two and he will wind it to your specs. I have two guitars equipped with Bryan's pickups and they are awesome!

Members Clinically Deaf Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 The '59 is supposed to be a PAF recreation, but has an A5 mag. I think the A2 Pro would be pretty close too. But I'll have to recommend BG as well, he'll getyou exactly what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lowbrow Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 That's interesting. I'm not usually a Gibson style humbucker guy, but I do love the 57 Classics. The only Seymour Duncan humbuckers I ever cared much for was the Alnico Pro II set I had. Now it all makes sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Other than the lack of potting, I'd say the Seth Lover or the Antiquity is the most similar. The Jazz and the Alnico II would be in the same ballpark. The 59... has never really blown my hair back, but I guess it would be in the same ballpark or at least in the same league, but no way in hell would I replace my Gibson 57s with Duncan 59s. I don't know the actual numbers, but the Alnico II and the Pearly Gates are a little hotter than the Jazz and the 59, but I prefer the sound of the Alnico and the Jazz over the 59 and the Pearly Gates in the neck positions. I'm always putting this video (done by our own Docjeffery) but it definitely is worth a look. In it, he compares the Burstbucker Pro, the 57 Classic, the Seth Lovers and the Pearly Gates. They are in different guitars, but you can still get a good feel the vibe of each pickup. [YOUTUBE]1RDThSJoqdE[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
